GRANITE FALLS, Wash. -- A 25-year-old man says he accidentally shot to death his 22-year-old girlfriend with a gun they used during drunken foreplay, said Rebecca Hover of the Snohomish County Sheriffs Office.

The man told detectives that he and his girlfriend of 10 years had been drinking at a party in their home Saturday night and afterward were intimate in bed.

He told police that he rubbed the loaded handgun all over his girlfriend after consuming more than one six-pack of beer. He said his girlfriend drank six bottles of Mikes Hard Lemonade.

He said that the couple forgot about the gun until after having sex. He said he found the gun at the foot of the bed and picked it up. When he swung his arm toward his girlfriend, it went off, he told police.

He called 911, and deputies responded at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday to the home in the 23200 block of 134th Street Northeast in unincorporated Granite Falls.

Hover said, "He was adamant the shooting was an accident."

He called himself an "idiot" several times during an interview with police and implied he would hurt himself for what hed done, police said.

During the incident, the couple's two young children were asleep in the same room on a different bed, Hover said.

The man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail Sunday afternoon on a charge of first-degree manslaughter.

Hover said a background check indicated that there have been three previous domestic violence incidents involving the couple between 2007 and 2009, with the girlfriend as the victim.

The case remains under investigation.

It's all fun and games until someone get's their wiener blown off. :thumbup:

Using a gun in foreplay?? They didn't get into it, but I think I get the idea.
They should stick to a compound bow or a flintlock next time.

His story sounds fishy though given all the DV calls in the past. Hmm....DV charges and he still had a gun. I guess our judicial system works huh? I thought you have to turn those in after a DV charge? Oh..not everyone follows the laws. Nice reporting KIRO - no mention of that..

Sadly I have a story that could add some credence to his "gun foreplay" statement. It was a story I heard while hitchhiking. In the interest of keeping the thread PG I am leaving out the details. Basically guy that picked me up hitchhiking told me about how he had tied up and blindfolded his wife and used the barrel of a loaded revolver on her. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some people are with firearms though.

One of the love/hate scenarios with my Sig DA/SA. With a round in the pipe and the hammer down in carry mode, that first trigger pull is a bear and a half to squeeze off. Gonna be hard to "accidently" shoot someone unless I do it on purpose.

Maybe I need to pickup a 1911 just in case I need to have an accident.

This has WTF written all over it.
1. Using a gun for foreplay
2. Having sex with kids in the room
3. "Swinging" gun around while loaded and "accidentally" shooting it.
4. Pointing gun at GF
5. Shooting girlfriend in front of kids
6. You this stupid after only six beers....Something tells me it wasn't the beers
7. You stupid enough to stay together after more than one DV calls

Note to self. Don't waste time going to Granite Falls. It's full of stupid inbreds.
